Fuel Tank
Read the safety instructions before refueling. The
machine has one fuel tank, just behind the seat. The
tank capacity is 5.7 gallons (22 liters).
Make sure the fuel cap is properly tightened and the
cap gasket is not damaged.
The engine will run on a minimum of 85-octane
unleaded gasoline (no oil mix). Environmentally
adapted alkylate gasoline can be used. See also
Technical Data concerning ethanol fuel. Methanol fuel
is not allowed. Do not use E85 alcohol based fuel.
Damage to engine and components may occur.
When operating in temperatures below 32° F. (0° C.),
use fresh, clean winter grade gasoline to help insure
good cold weather starting.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Experience indicates that alcohol blended
fuels (called gasohol, ethanol or methanol)
can attract moisture which leads to separation
and formation of acids during storage. Acidic
gas can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage. To avoid engine problems,
the fuel system should be emptied before
storage of 30 days or longer. Drain the gas
tank, start the engine and let it run until the
fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh
fuel the next season. See Storage Instructions
for additional information. Never use engine
or carburetor cleaners in the fuel tank or
permanent damage may occur.
